Im using version 5.5 of Turbo Pascal to do some graphics for a program that I am writing. I want to save the screen to disk, but when I do an ImageSize command, I get an error. I realize that if the image is going to take up more than 64K I will get the error, but what I want to know is there a way around this memory restriction?????? How do I go about saving almost a whole screen of graphics?? Thanks!

Simple fix: Divide the screen up into 4 or more sections. 2 May work. Amazingly simple, eh? :-> -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | RN ate my mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| .newsrc!

How do I go about saving almost a whole >screen of graphics?? The obvious solution is to save the screen in parts, each one < 64K. It is simple as that. And it works. Usually four parts is enough, but this naturally depends. ...................................................................
